Yes, the Black Plague, or Bubonic Plague, primarily spread from east to west. It originated in Central Asia and traveled along trade routes, notably the Silk Road, reaching Europe in the mid-14th century. The movement of people and goods facilitated its rapid dissemination across continents, resulting in devastating outbreaks in various regions.
The plague seems to have started in China in the 1330s.In 1347, armies attacking the town of Caffa in the Crimea, catapulted plague corpses into the town. The Italian merchants took the plague with them to Sicily in October 1347. From there then to Europe.
The plague bacterium occurs naturally in wild rats. During the 1320s the disease flared up in the Gobi desert of Mongolia. It gradually spread along trade routes, infecting much of Asia. European merchants were trading with the East, buying spices and silks. It is likely that the plague moved with their trade caravans, travelling from Baghdad to trading stations in the Crimea. From there it rapidly spread across Europe.
